Hey guys! It's been a while since I have posted here. I see the forum is still going strong! It feels good to be back.
I recently have been traveling all over the nation just for the heck of it with my buddies (you know, typical 21 year old things). We've hit up some beautiful places like the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Charlotte, you name it. Racked up 18,120 miles all together! Every time we've gone somewhere, I would always have my friend at Enterprise hook me up at a good price with a convertible EcoBoost Mustang (I still to this day believe my V6 could smoke one, lol).
The car has been fun to drive. That tune/whine of the turbo engine sounds so pleasant and addictive. I find myself always gassing it slightly so I can hear it in action. As you know, with good sometimes comes bad. Every single convertible Mustang we have rented (which is about 6) always had the same precise problems and I am wanting to reach out to the forum to see if they are common things.
1st problem is the windows. Whenever you put the top up, the rear window on the passenger side always fails to fully go up, resulting in a space big enough to stick your finger through. At first, I thought it was just a defective Mustang we received, but when it started doing the same thing on the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth convertible, I was surprised it wasn't something that had received a recall yet. We had to grab the whole window panel with some strength in our hands and pull it up manually every time.
2nd problem is the radio. As you go to lock the top in place by the manual lumbar above, the music always cuts off for two seconds and then turns back on. What is the purpose of that?
3rd problem was pretty much addressed with some research, but it's the chassis shuddering. I've always had an eye to see that whenever you go over some rough terrain, the windshield, A-pillar always shakes like crazy. I read, however, it's a common thing with convertibles.
Other than the bird sh** splattering on the passenger headrests at 50 MPH, I would say the drive is always pleasant. I can't wait to see how the 18's are going to be! :ford:
